Arm Holdings plc (ARM) is a British semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England. It is the world’s leading supplier of processor cores and designs, and its products are used in a wide variety of computing devices, from smartphones to servers. Arm Holdings plc is the IP owner and developer of the ARM architecture, which is used in 99% of the world’s smartphone CPU cores, and it also has a high market share in other battery-powered devices like wearables, tablets, or sensors. Arm licenses its architecture for a fee, offering different types of licenses depending on the flexibility the customer needs. Other clients directly buy off-the-shelf designs from Arm. Both off-the-shelf and architectural customers pay a royalty fee per chip shipped. Customers like Apple or Qualcomm buy architectural licenses, which allows them to modify the architecture and add or delete instructions to tailor the chips to their specific needs.

Arm CPUs first appeared in the Acorn Archimedes, a desktop computer, but today’s systems include mostly embedded systems, including ARM CPUs used in virtually all modern smartphones. Arm’s main CPU competitors in servers include IBM, Intel and AMD. Intel competed with ARM-based chips in mobile but Arm no longer has any competition in that space. As a “holding” company, it also holds shares of other companies. Since 2016, it has been majority owned by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group. It also designs other chips, provides software development tools under the DS-5, RealView and Keil brands, and provides systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip infrastructure and software.

Arm Holdings plc (ARM) stock has been the center of attention recently, following an explosive rally over the last week. This is due to increased AI demand noted in the company’s fourth quarter earnings results last week, and the fact that Nvidia (NVDA) has become a “cornerstone investor” in Arm Holdings. This has led to rallies across the stocks of smaller AI firms, such as Soundhound (SOUN), Arm (ARM), and Nanox (NNOX).
